me back to his senses. He clearly hadn't expected things to be resolved so unexpectedly well. He followed An Xue Tang, step by step, leaving the courtyard that had imprisoned him for many years.Before..."Maybe, women are just easily moved, aren't they"

After subconsciously answering the emperor's words, Ye Er suddenly reacted. He looked at the emperor abruptly, "Your Majesty, you... what do you mean by that"

The emperor, seeing his surprised and delighted expression, couldn't help but chuckle softly. “It means exactly what it says. Alright, I already know what you're worried about. Don't you worry your head about those matters, I'll take care of them for you. You just need to prepare well as the soon-to-be groom. Don't fret over anything else.”

Now that things have come to this, Ye Er knew the plan had succeeded. The emperor had fallen into the trap he had carefully set.

He would certainly not say more, after all, sometimes saying too much can backfire.

At this moment, Ye Er could only show an extremely moved expression. He stood up and bowed to the emperor, "Your Majesty... thank you."

"Alright, alright. You're not feeling well, so we can skip the formalities."

Although he said so, the emperor was deeply moved by Ye Er's appearance of being so touched that he wanted to give up everything to show his loyalty.

He did not wait for anything to happen afterward, and immediately ordered someone to prepare the imperial decree.

After finishing, he immediately ordered the eunuch who delivered imperial edicts to take it to the Anle Houfu.

There are two imperial edicts in total.

The first imperial edict recorded how Ye Er pleaded with him, and in the end he agreed to allow the two sons of the Anle Hou Mansion to return to the capital for official positions.

The second imperial edict instructed the Anle Marquis' Mansion to prepare for the princess's marriage, urging them to quickly marry Xiaoqin into the Ye family and help it prosper.

After the eunuch delivered the imperial edict and left, the Emperor looked at Ye Er, "Do you find this satisfactory, Ye Qing"

Ye Er immediately knelt down, "Your Majesty's grace today, the minister will never forget. In the future, I will do my best until death."

The emperor's face wore a satisfied expression, but he still said, "Alright, alright, don't talk about dying, get up quickly."

"Your Majesty."

......

The two imperial edicts quickly spread, but there was little talk about the two sons of the Duke of Anle returning to the capital for their appointments.

Ke Ye'er and Xiao Qin's engagement once again sparked heated discussion among the women in the courtyards of various noble families in the capital.

They had all known for these past few days that Lady Anlehou was finding a husband for her daughter, who had been jilted.

They all knew about the feud between House Anle and House Ye, so neither family was willing to let a girl like Xiaoqin, who was "capable of taking lives," into their household. Even though Xiaoqin held the title of Miss Anle Houfu, her reputation was too tarnished.

In recent days, Xiaoqin has become a topic of conversation after meals for them. They can't help but wonder what kind of family a mature woman like Xiaoqin will eventually marry.

But they never expected that Xiao Qin would ultimately marry into the Ye family, and ultimately marry Ye Er.

Although everyone knows Ye Er's frail body, the fact that he became the current emperor's favorite is true.

Now Ye Er is not only no longer foolish, but has also become a high-ranking and influential person.

In recent days, a number of officials have actually begun to pay attention to Ye Er.

As long as they marry Ye Er, with Ye Er's current favored status, their careers as relatives will be bright.

But who would have thought, before they could even make a move, Ye Er was entangled with Xiao Qin again.

Before, everyone knew that Xiao Qin, the only daughter of a Duke's mansion, could only marry someone like Ye Er, a sickly and foolish man. They naturally mocked her for it.

Today is different from the past. Ye Er's current status is not comparable to ordinary people. He is not only no longer foolish, but even the Emperor favors him.

Moreover, with no elders in the Ye family now, whoever marries into it will become the mistress, without a mother-in-law above to pressure her. For a woman, this is a huge blessing.

It's a pity that such a good thing fell to Xiaoqin.

For a time, women in the capital all ran together to discuss this matter.

......

And Xiao Qin, who resided in the Beijang Royal Manor, also learned of this matter shortly after the imperial decree arrived.

After the imperial decree arrived, her parents sent someone to fetch her back home.

Xiaoqin's complexion wasn't good, but after last night's events, she also understood that there were many things in Beijang王府 that outsiders shouldn't know. Although the princess was willing to take her in, she couldn't delay the princess's affairs.

After a moment's hesitation, he agreed to return home.

Before leaving, she came to Jingtang Garden to bid farewell to An Xuetang.

An Xuetang saw that she wasn't very happy, and raised an eyebrow. "Although your parents sent someone to pick you up, if you still don't want to go back and face them, you can stay in the Prince's Mansion. I'll have Yun Si tell your parents, they'll give me face."

Staying in the palace was certainly better, and she really didn't want to go home and face her parents. However, after last night's events, she still shook her head and refused:

"The Princess's kindness, Qin'er understands. However, Qin'er should still return to the Marquis's Mansion. Today, my mother's mood is undoubtedly excellent. If I don't go back according to her wishes, it might spoil her good mood. At this critical juncture, it's best not to anger her."

Besides, all her parents wanted was for their two older brothers to return to Beijing. Now, with Mr. Ye's help, that wish has come true.

The Emperor’s decree has been issued. As soon as his will reaches those two locations, her two older brothers will immediately set off for the capital.

It will only take about three or four months for the two elder brothers to return to Beijing with their families.

Now, her parents can finally rest assured.

Today, when she returned to the Hou Mansion, her mother would no longer give her a cold shoulder.

So she didn't need to stay at the Beijiang Royal Manor, lest it interfere with the Princess's affairs.

Since Xiao Qin had already made up her mind, An Xue Tang didn't try to dissuade her any longer. She simply asked, "So you are truly prepared to marry Ye Er Have you let go of the person in your heart..."

“......”

Shou'er and Kang'er were stunned, both of them looking at their own princess in shock. This...how did she suddenly bring that person up

That Jiang Qingyang was a man the county princess had liked for many years, someone she kept in her heart for a long time. How could she just let him go The way the empress spoke so casually about it wasn't she just sprinkling salt on the county princess's wounds

They were a little worried that the princess might suddenly burst into tears.

But obviously they were overthinking it. Xiaoqin was shocked when she heard An Xue Tang's words, she really didn't expect An Xue Tang to mention Jiang Qingyang at this time.

Jiang Qingyang… That man she had loved for many, many years. She always thought she would never be able to let him go in her lifetime.

Until the Princess suddenly mentioned that she seemed to understand something.

Then, Xiao Qin was stunned for a moment after An Xue Tang finished speaking. When she came to her senses, she suddenly smiled and sincerely said to An Xue Tang, "Thank you, Princess."

"What the heck!"

Shou'er and Kang'er looked at each other in confusion. What was going on nowon she was waiting for was him after seeing her on the streetSeeing that the young mistress couldn't answer, Qingya pursed her lips and continued to throw out another question, "Also, Lady, when you w...
